摘要:Using rats we examined the effects on liver mitochondrial functions of the long-term intake of a high-fat diet based on beef tallow or safflower oil. Forty-eight rats were divided into three dietary groups: a low-fat diet group and two high-fat ones (beef tallow and safflower oil). The low-fat diet provided 7, 73, and 20% of the total energy as fat, carbohydrate, and protein, respectively; and two high-fat diets, 45, 35, and 20% of energy, respectively. Rats were isoenergetically fed the appropriate diet for 4 months. The state-3 respiration of the mitochondria was significantly higher in the two high-fat diet groups than in the low-fat diet group, when both succinate and β-hydroxybutyrate were used as substrates for the respiration. However, there was no difference between the two high-fat diet groups. The groups were ranked in terms of cytochrome a content in their mitochondria as follows: low-fat diet group
